I worked with the Visiting Angels Caregiver & Home health group out of Knoxville, Tn for about 2 years as a caregiver. I also helped to care for my mother, father, a sister, a brother, an aunt, an uncle, my husband, and my son. I am retired, but I still enjoy working part time as a caregiver. I can help care for your loved ones, when you need to be engaged elsewhere. Or when you just need an occasional break.... And we all need that occasional break sometimes.

Hello, my name is Angela. I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 10 years of experience. I pride myself in being an honest, energetic, kind, hard working, punctual and compassionate caregiver.

I have been a C.N.A. since 1981 when I was 19 years old. I have always had a "soft spot" for the elderly/sick. I have worked in all areas of healthcare over the years, hospitals, home health, nursing facilities, geri/psych unit, hospice, private duty. I now own my own business, Quality Home Care, a non-medical home care. This is my calling and I am honored to help others in need.

My patietance is really good. I don't yell or scream at others. I love working with the older people I love to talk,laugh and share stories with them. My parents had my mom parents staying with us for 9 years and its in my blood taking care of people and loving it while you do it.

Hello! My name is Tecla. I currently work for a home care company based in Athens, TN, and I am looking for private clients. I love being a caregiver, and I have 5 years of experience. I am professional, reliable, enthusiastic, and I focus on building a strong rapport with each individual I care for. Everyone is unique, and I am very open to doing things differently in order to meet the specific needs of my clients. I see many clients throughout each week, and I even have a few that I check on when I am off the clock. I love people, and I am very blessed and rewarded by every person in my care.

My current job does not say much about who I am as a person or a caregiver. Before starting in factory work I worked in a nursing home for 4 years. After the nursing home I worked in assisted living for a year. I gave my heart to those jobs. I loved ever minute of being with the elderly. I started by waking them up and taking them to the toilet. Then I would help them get dressed or dress the ones who were unable. I would then assist with normal morning hygiene care. I would take them to dine with others in the dinning hall and then I would feed the ones who could not go. I would do daily excersizes with the residents and give baths when it came time. After breakfast some would take naps, watch tv or do other things. After my rounds of helping to use the bathroom I would visit with some that I didn't get to spend so much time with because of our morning rush to eat. So many of those people whom I took care of couldn't remember some of their own family, but they knew when they seen me coming everyday and they were so happy at times. At the end of the day helping others comes naturally. My gratitude I get from being a caregiver is just making someone smile. If I can make them smile then I must be doing something well.

I've been in the health care field since age 16. I have experience working in nursing homes, hospitals, the hospice field and I have taken care of some family members through the end of this life. I find it to be a privilege to show compassion to those who need health care in every area.

I have held many positions in the health field. My reasons for remaining in health care are many but the most prominent is the self gratification of helping others.

For me it's the joy of caring for elderly. I love working talking, getting to know new people. I have a soft passion for people. Taking care of my parents is what I always wanted to do so they could stay home. Nursing is my happy place.
